Acura 2004 RL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 29)

If a small child must ride in the
front, follow the instructions
provided in this section.
This page briefly summarizes Acura’s
recommendations on where to place
rear-facing and forward-facing child
seats in your car.
The passenger’s front airbag
inflates with enough force to kill
or seriously injure an infant in a
rear-facing child seat.
Never in the front seat, due
to the front airbag hazard.
Recommended positions.
Properly secure a rear-facing child
seat (see page
).
Recommended
positions. Properly secure a
forward-facing child seat (see
page
).
A small child in a forward-facing
child seat is also at risk. If the
vehicle seat is too far forward,
or the child’s head is thrown
forward during a collision, an
inflating front airbag can kill or
seriously injure the child.
Not recommended,
due to the front airbag hazard. If a
small child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position and secure a
forward-facing child seat with the
seat belt (see page
).
